For hostage’s family, missed calls offered a glimmer of hope

KUALA LUMPUR: Not many people would wait anxiously for a missed call but for Mohd Jumadil Rahim’s family, it was a sign that he was alive.

Ever since Mohd Jumadil and his four crewmates were abducted on July 18 last year, his uncle Rahman Arshad, 47, would wait patiently for his phone to ring and go off.
